UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHARLES HALSTEAD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COFFEE-POT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,265, dated July 1'7, 1883.

Application filed April 16, 1883. (No model) To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES HALSTEAD, of New York, in the State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cofiee-lots, of which the following is a specirim, which surrounds and protects the lower part of said water-chamber.

It also consists in a coffee bag or strainer, in combination with two or more braces running from the top supporting-ring of said strainer to the central part of the bottom of said strainer.

In the accompanying drawing a vertical section of the coffee-pot embodying my invention is represented.

A represents the coffee-pot, made with a single bottom, B, to enable placing the pot upon the stove to heat its contents when required, and with two side walls, 0 and D. The inner wall, 0, may be made of china or earthenware, while the outer wall, D, is made of metal. The walls G D are connected at the top by an annular ledge, a, which serves as a support for the water-chamber or the cover of the coffee-pot. The outer wall, D, is prolonged above said ledge, so as to form a raised wall or rim, which retains said waterchainber in place and protects thelower part thereof. The outer wall, D, is secured to the bottom B and to the ledge 12, so that the annular space formed between the inner and outer wall shall be airtight. For greater protection, this annular space may be filled with paper packing J, or any other suitable non-conducting material.

When awater-ehamber, G, is placed upon the top of the coffee-pot on the ledge a, the same is constructed in a similar manner with two walls, c w, and the space between these walls filled in with a non-conducting material, on.

F is the lid or cover, made to fit the waterv poured out; or a suitable cook or faucet may be arranged near the bottom of the coffee-pot.

E is the coffee bag or strainer, made of the usual textile material, attached to a ring or band, a, at top, through which the bag E is supported on the ledgea. To the central part of the bottom I) of this bag two or more braces, (Z cl, are attached, made of the same material as the bag, and fastened on top to the ring or band at. These braces supportthe bottom Z), and prevent the sagging of the'same, obviating thereby the necessity of using a metal ring in the bottom of the bag for that purpose.

lVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A coffee-pot having double side walls extending to the bottom thereof, and provided at the top with a horizontal connecting wall or ledge, which serves as a support for a waterchamber, and a raised exterior rim, which surrounds and protects the lower part of said water-chamber.

2. In acoffee bag or strainer, E, two or more braces, cl (1, running from the top supporting-ring, a, to the central part of the bot tom 1), as and for the purpose specified.

CHARLES HALSTEAD.
